Nice backfire there. Trump and his "drill baby drill" ilk, firmly in the pocket of big oil, are boosting the sale of EVs with their dumbass war.

Can't be making the sponsors very happy. Sure, fuel sales to the military might be on the rise, but that doesn't make up for the world finally realizing fossil fuel dependence is not the way.

The price of gasoline/diesel in the EU is higher than in Vancouver, Canada.

Vancouver has the dubious distinction of being the most expensive petroleum fuel market in North America. I assure you we are kinda surprised to be lower priced than somewhere, anywhere.

We also happen to have rather low electrical rates.

And the largest adoption of EVs in North America.
